Jurickson Profar’s go-ahead 2-run shot helps Braves rally past Guardians 5-4 for 3-game sweep
Jurickson Profar hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning, and the Atlanta Braves won their season-best fifth straight game, rallying past the Cleveland Guardians 5-4 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.
Profar’s two-run homer off Nic Enright in the sixth inning was enough to beat the Guardians, 5-4, and complete a three-game sweep of the home team. The Guardians, who were one of baeball’s hottest teams a minute ago, have lost five of their last seven games.
The Guardians have played their best baseball of the season and have been one of the league’s top teams in the immediate aftermath of the 10-game losing streak they suffered before the All-Star break.
The Guardians have been one of MLB’s hottest teams over the last few weeks, primarily because of the offense. Cleveland had a team slash line of 251/.326/.421 from the All-Star Break heading into their series against the Braves. However, Atlanta found a way to shut the Guardians’ bats down.
Ketel Marte will reportedly be shopped in the offseason by the Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Atlanta Braves could become a landing spot for him.
